Genesis 14
1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations,
Og det skete i de Dage, der Amrafel var Konge i Sinear, Ariok Konge i Elassar, Kedorlaomer Konge i Elam, og Thideal Konge over Gojim,
2 [that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
at de førte Krig mod Bera, Kongen af Sodoma, og imod Birsa, Kongen af Gomorra, Sineab, Kongen af Adma, og Semeber, Kongen af Zeboim, og Kongen af Bela, det er Zoar.
3 All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
Alle disse kom sammen i Siddims Dal, det er Salthavet.
4 Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Tolv Aar havde de tjent Kedorlaomer, og i det trettende Aar vare de affaldne.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim,
Og i det fjortende Aar kom Kedorlaomer og de Konger, som vare med ham, og sloge Refaiterne i Astharoth-Karnaim og Susiterne i Ham og Emiterne i Schaveh-Kirjathaim
6 and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
og Horiterne paa deres Bjerg Sejr indtil Parans Slette, som er ved Ørken.
7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar.
Derefter vendte de om og kom til den Kilde Mispat, det er Kades, og sloge Amalekiternes hele Land og Amoriterne, som boede i Hazezon-Thamar.
8 And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,
Da drog Kongen af Sodoma ud og Kongen af Gomorra og Kongen af Adma og Kongen af Zeboim og Kongen af Bela, det er Zoar, og rustede sig mod dem til Strid udi Siddims Dal,
9 with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar — four kings with the five.
imod Kedorlaomer, Kongen af Elam, og Thideal, Kongen over Gojim, og Amrafel, Kongen af Sinear, og Ariok, Kongen af Elassar, fire Konger mod fem.
10 And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Og Siddims Dal var fuld af Jordbegsgruber, og Kongen af Sodoma og Gomorra flyede, og de faldt deri; og de, som overbleve, flyede paa Bjerget.
11 And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.
Og de toge alt det Gods, som var i Sodoma og Gomorra, og al deres Føde og droge bort.
12 And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.
Og de toge Abrams Brodersøn, Lot, og hans Gods og droge bort; men han boede i Sodoma.
13 And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies.
Da kom en, som var undkommen, og forkyndte Hebræeren Abram det; men han boede i Amoriten Mamres Lund; denne var Broder til Eskol og Broder til Aner, og disse vare i Forbund med Abram.
14 And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] as far as Dan.
Der Abram hørte, at hans Broder var fangen, da væbnede han sine tre Hundrede og atten oplærte unge Karle, som vare fødte i hans Hus, og forfulgte dem til Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus.
Og han og hans Svende delte sig over dem om Natten og slog dem og forfulgte dem til Hoba, som ligger paa den venstre Side for Damaskus,
16 And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.
og han førte alt Godset tilbage, og tilmed Lot, sin Broder, og hans Gods førte han tilbage og desligeste Kvinderne og Folket.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.
Og Kongen af Sodoma gik ud imod ham, efter at han var kommen tilbage fra det Slag imod Kedorlaomer og de Konger, som vare med ham, til Schave-Dal, som kaldes Kongens Dal.
18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High God.
Og Melkisedek, Kongen af Salem, bragte Brød og Vin, og han var den højeste Guds Præst.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth.
Og han velsignede ham og sagde: Velsignet være Abram for den højeste Gud, som ejer Himmel og Jord,
20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
og velsignet være den højeste Gud, som gav dine Fjender i din Haand; og Abram gav ham Tiende af alt.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
Og Kongen af Sodoma sagde til Abram: Giv mig Folket, og tag Godset til dig.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth,
Men Abram sagde til Kongen af Sodoma: Jeg har opløftet min Haand til Herren, den højeste Gud, som ejer Himmel og Jord,
23 if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take [anything]...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich;
at jeg ikke vil tage saa meget som en Traad eller Skotvinge af alt det, som tilhører dig, at du ikke skal sige: jeg har gjort Abram rig;
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
undtagen det alene, som de unge Karle have fortæret, og de Mænds Del, som gik med mig, Aner, Eskol og Mamre, de maa tage deres Del.
